The road to success is not always an easy one especially for many people who live in the direst circumstances. A young man recently helped other people from poor backgrounds see that where there is a will there is definitely a way to succeed.
Taking to Facebook, Maake Shadrack shared an inspirational post about how he had slept on the floor as a student working hard to obtain a qualification that would catapult him from his poor circumstances into a better life.
"*2 years of sleeping on the floor at 25 Mathivha Street, Mankweng Zone 1, and one year of being a squatter on-campus taught me to never give up in life and continue enduring even when there's no sign of change.
"However, even if you pray day and night if you don't work smart and diligently...You will never move to the next layer."
South Africans were left feeling super inspired and both congratulated and commended him in the comment section.
Mokgadi Mamaregane said:
"At times I need motivations like this, so when you felt like giving up, how did u pick yourself up? when everything was against u?"
Tebogo Phakedi said:
"So inspiring. It's not about falling. It's about standing up."
